It can be hard for girls to be big, which is one reason James and Denise Tolbert were happy that Kristina, their 16-year-old, 6-ft. 3-in. daughter, wanted to play basketball. But Pinckney High School won't let Kristina on the team. Like virtually all schools in the state, Pinckney has a rule that no one can play any sport unless she's enrolled.

Much of the war has been waged by proxy on TV, with nasty Sunday-night news battles setting the tone. On ORT, a state-owned network that is largely controlled by Yeltsin supporter Boris Berezovsky, news anchor Sergei Dorenko bludgeons home the idea that Luzhkov is a murderer, a crook, a hypocrite.
